1861: when the small township of St Joseph, Missouri decides that it has had enough of its two noisiest and most troublesome inhabitants, they decide on an ingenious way to get rid of them. Mark Twain and his rival Mike Fink will undertake a hazardous, and lengthy, race to the Pacific Ocean. This lively film -suitable for all the family -tells of the unlikely and often humorous race that formed the basis of a famous story by one of America's greatest writers.

Wynton Marsalis A Profile 'If you put in the energy and the time you can learn to play classical music. Learning jazz is not as easy - learning jazz is like trying to catch a snake. Described by Maurice Andre as potentially the greatest trumpeter of all time, Wynton Marsalis was the first person ever to win coveted American Grammy Awards for both jazz and classical recordings, and that at the age of 22. This film follows Wynton to classical recordings in London with the ENGLISH CHAMBER
ORCHESTRA conducted by RAYMOND LEPPARD , to jazz dates in New York and to the World Fair back in New
Orleans where he grew up. Sound PETER BRILL
